Solari Family/Draz

Introduction

A dark figure, hooded and cloaked, rides through the Shanandoah ducal castle gates. A fell wind howls at his back; the guards stare in awe as the looming presense approaches. Upon arriving at the entrance he climbs down off his black horse's saddle and beckons to be led to throne room. The soldiers quickly obey stealing wary glances of the mysterious figure as they bring him before the duke. Before the throne he kneels and looks up. The only features visible are his bright blue eyes which pierce the darkness which seems to surround this noble, enigmatic figure. Without warning, in a subtle yet commanding tone, he announces to the room "I am Draz, a noble of the house of Solari, and I hearby pledge my loyalty and service to this realm in trying times ahead."
